I did some benching against a 950 Pro here. 960 doesn't have faster small file read/writes. Mostly just faster sequentials.

Your testing needs some rework, I recommend upping your worker count on the iodrive and 950 to at least 4 or 8...

I also have a 950 Pro and on my system, it performed better at 4k than the iodrive (latest firmware for each). I can try with your same tools, I was using different test methods and apps.

Weird... it doesn't have any production labels on the back and has an inspection arrow top left on the back.

This looks like it was a test board/show board, or a refurb that didn't make it. No FCC sticker or anything.

I'd send that back. Based on it not showing up even with the 3.x driver loaded leads me to believe the FPGA has been cleared, which won't give you any chance to use it w/o a JTAG programmer and some know-how.

Back of a production card should look like this:
Great information here - thanks so much for sharing.

What on the back of the card tells yout the firmware version that was initially loaded?

Nothing on the back does. The cards are shipped with the latest firmware available at the time for the most part.

If you have a firmware that is valid with the 3.x drivers, the drive will show up, but might not attach. The fio-status command will show you an error message telling you that the firmware is not supported.

Oscaru: Another member just got two firmware-less drives from dopplerfx. One of them at least was one of the drives you returned.

I'd show them photos from this thread, showing where the same drive was shipped to Oscaru, and the seller accepted a return for it already.
